Everyday after school, the boys sit at the table, doing their homework.(Actually Drew doesn't have homework, but just go with it).

A warm sunny kitchen.

Rays of sun beaming through the windows.

Healthy snacks being prepared.

A quiet, peaceful enviornment for learning.

Oh wait...this is real life.

Dun Dun Duuuuunnnnnnn.

That's right bubbies. Party's over.

There was some proofreading.

Some fact-checking.

A bit of mulling-over.

If this wasn't my second attempt of my Party of Three pictures this week, I would have taken Collin's embryology report away from the Tiny Tornado post haste.

Unfortunately for Collin and his science grade...I was desperate.

I can't decide which picture I want to choose for my shot of the week. I like the second one (you know, the fee fi fo fum one)...but I like this one too.

Livia was certainly having a fantastic hair day.

Am I losing your interest here? It's just so rare for me to get all three faces in the same frame.

OK, I have a zillion more pictures, so I'll just wrap it up. In a nutshell, I started waving an M&M around...the Tornado started shrieking "have it! have it! have it!" while waving her little wrist around in a circle; you know, the usual.

In unrelated news, below is a before & after of a new action I've been working on creating. From the girl that knows how to do like five things in Photoshop...creating an action - LOL! It's supposed to be kind of vintagy, hazy...but you know me. I think my editing style is fairly subtle. You can see the difference, right? By the way...the right side is my edit - ha!

Whew! Five weeks down, whatever 52 minus 5 is to go! I'll say it again...I can't wait to get these kids outside for their weekly picture. Actually, I can't wait to get outside in general. How about you?

Once again - you've made me happy! I love these posts...look forward to these posts. I hope I'm as witty and a fun a mom as you are. And your kids, I know I've said this a gazillion times, but they are gorgeous! New action...love! I love that hazy look though...love it. I also like the one of TT side by said "I'm not Buying it" I think you said. Is that your action too. Basically, there's nothing you can do that I won't love. Except if you told me we couldn't be friends. :)

You are so entertaining! I think your blogs is one of my favorites because I kind of drift away into your humor and adorable pictures of your kids and then of course I soak up some inspiration along the way! Your daughter is such a crack up and what a heart breaker she is gonna be...well, all of them for that matter;0.

The 2nd one down? If I'd had coffee in my mouth? You would have owed me a keyboard. Fantastic group of photos/captions; LOVE them ALL! Love that hazy vintagy action too & if I had big boy ps, I'd make you give it to me for free!

These are adorable! I love how the boys seem so intent on finishing their work, despite the distraction. :) As for getting out, we are dying to! It's been nothing but snow for us, day after day, and Georgia is driving me batty!

You crack me up each week with these shots. They are going to make one great book at the end of the year {if you do that kind of thing... I'm so bad at that... I can't even find the Christmas book I made last year!!!!}

Number 2 is my favorite!! Oh I love it!!!! Maybe it's because I have 2 older brothers and was always in their business too. Yes I too was a tornado! Wonderful photos, wonderful commentary: another home run for you!!

Great post as always! I love the pic of Livia on the table taken from above, I wish Collin was in that pic completely. I love how she peeks with one eye when she's crying! Or fake crying. :) I love your action too!! Xo

Where to start here...1)I can't WAIT to see this action and use it because I love it..mostly because I love subtle actions like that. 2)I LOVE the second photo but there's something about your second favorite one that makes me smile ear to ear. 3)Your child's shoes are THE BOMB. WOWZERS....and I love how you threw in that last piece about being 5 down and whatever 53 minus 5 is to go! Awesomeness. That is all. ;-))

Fe fi fo fum is my fav..and can I get that action.. actually, ya know I am a sooc girl, so I should say, "can I have that action, and would you PLEASE tell me how to use it?" Great post as usual my friend.. and the button worked fab! Muchas gracias... muy bueno

And yet another fabulous post my friend! I really look forward to reading your blog every week. Great pictures and great commentary. I can't believe how long Livia's hair is getting. She's just beautiful.
